When can superhero fans expect The Batman to crusade onto HBO Max? A new era of big screen Batman movies has finally dawned. Following Christopher Nolan's lauded The Dark Knight trilogy and the DCEU's aborted Batfleck project, Matt Reeves directs Robert Pattinson in The Batman. Removing itself from any existing DC movie franchise baggage, The Batman greets Bruce Wayne in his second year of crime-fighting, and boasts a packed-out cast featuring Paul Dano as Riddler, Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, Colin Farrell as Penguin, Andy Serkis as Alfred, and Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon.

The director has confirmed sequel talks are underway, with a potential trilogy awaiting Pattinson and his Gotham City cohorts. Meanwhile, initial The Batman reviews have been hugely positive, making a continuation all but inevitable — so long as financial expectations are met.
